About Ouderkerkerlaan 134, Amstelveen
The asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €945,575, but the house is also 30% larger than the average home in Van der Leekbuurt (153 m² vs 118 m²). The price per m² works out at about €7,516, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €7,611 per m². So the price reflects the extra space, though it is on the high side compared to smaller homes.
The energy label is E. In the Van der Leekbuurt, most homes for sale have better labels: about 65% are label A or better. An E label means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills. The house was built in 1940, so insulation and heating systems may be older.
The plot is 327 m², but the listing does not specify how much of that is garden versus the footprint of the house. Given the house size of 153 m², there is likely a substantial outdoor space, but the exact layout is not stated.
